Mr. Right Now: Vol. 1: Party Boys Who Get What They Want Read Online Free Page A

to leave it there. She knows exactly what shoes she’ll wear. They’ll drive all the Sterling men nuts, and that’s what she’s aiming for. In her drunken state, she could care less what they decided. She knows it’s wrong, but she’s too far gone.
    ***
    Chloe wipes the brown crumbs lingering on her breast. She even digs down into her tits to get all the bits out. She’d asked the cab driver to stop at KFC to grab some chicken strips, hoping to soak up some of the alcohol buzzing in her bloodstream. It seemed to do the trick, leaving her with only a slight numb feeling. It’s just enough to get her through this evening, and then she knows she’ll be able to walk away.
    Stepping out onto the sidewalk, she steadies her red high heels under her. Her tanned legs are covered with a light, glittery dust. The night air is warm, so she’s only clothed in her barely there dress. Chloe adjusts her girls, settling them as high as they go before she enters the hotel.
    Not only does she need to look good for the Sterlings tonight, but she is also aware this hotel is well known for celebrity sightings. It’s the hotel of hotels, if you will. The outside brickwork is meticulous with an outrageous velvet awning lined with gold poles. Chloe’s never been inside the hotel; she’s only seen pictures online.
    An enormous fountain and its sounds fill the majority of the lobby. People move about in different directions. Some are dressed up to go out for the evening, while others are returning from meetings, attired in business suits. Chloe isn’t intimidated by any of them, knowing she looks exceptional.
    Clint’s laughter catches her attention. She zeroes in on him holding a drink and standing with the four men. They’re all still dressed up, but more casual than today in the office. She finds Eli in his white button down dress shirt. His cuffs are unbuttoned and rolled up to expose his thick arms, and the bottom of his shirt is untucked. The other men are similarly dressed, but it’s Eli who captivates her attention.
    Before any of the men spot her, she rushes off to a side bathroom. Her fingers dig in her clutch for her lip gloss. Chloe debates pulling her hair into a quick up-do. She uses her hands to frame her hair above her head, and then lets the curls fall, trying to decide on the sexiest look. After she paints her lips, she decides to pull it up in a loose bun, letting some of the curls fall down around her face.
    The door to the bathroom swings open, and Chloe doesn’t pay attention to the two women who enter. She applies another light dab of perfume and some lotion to her long legs.
    “I’m so getting one of those boys in bed tonight,” one woman announces.
    “You mean you’re going to land in one of their beds, right? I hear Dax is the easiest to claim.”
    “He fucked me last night at the club.”
    Chloe whips her head around to face the women.
    “He did!”
    “He took me in the bathroom and ripped my panties off, fucking me hard before he got into a fight.”
    “Tell me was he huge.”
    “A woman never tells.” She giggles. “But I want the brother who dropped the two off last night. He’s the quiet one with the light beard.”
    “His name is Eli.”
    Chloe’s gut turns listening to the sluts brag and set their sights on the Sterlings. Back in the day, she was used to hearing classmates talk about them in a similar fashion, but never Eli because everyone knew he wasn’t available.
    That thirst is back again. Chloe stomps out into the lobby, striding briskly on her long legs. She sneaks the bottom of her dress up a bit to show off the top of her thighs. Those women won’t have a chance with Eli if she can help it. The men are gone from where they were standing. She peeks around the fountain to see a large restaurant, but before entering she orders a Crown and Coke. Chloe knows it’s a mistake to mix alcohol, and it’s also a mistake to want Eli back, but she doesn’t give either a second thought as
